UTG LIST: 5 Artists To Watch In 2013

January 28th, 2013

James Shotwell

One of our biggest goals in 2013 is to bring you even more new and cutting edge artists than ever before. Be it music, film, comedy, or something else altogether that absolutely floor us, we are dedicated to helping usher in the next wave of talent that will soon overtake the industry.

Just over a year ago we brought you our first ’5 Artists To Watch’ feature (found here), and in the months that have passed since we have watched those same artists become some of the most recognized names in the alternative community. With this year’s list we …

UTG’s Best Of 2012 (So Far…)

June 22nd, 2012

James Shotwell

Seems like just yesterday we were rolling into 2012 with our “5 Bands To Watch” feature, but a glance at the calendar over the last week reminded the UTG staff that the year is already half gone. Discussing our triumphs and failures over the past few months lead to a discussion on the art that has stuck with us and, as always, the idea to release a new list feature was born.

If one thing is glaringly clear from entertainment in 2012, it’s that there is not only something for everyone, there is an abundance of it. We do our …

UTG LIST: 5 Emcees You Need To Know

June 6th, 2012

James Shotwell

At the beginning of 2012 UTG released a list of five artists we felt needed to be watched in the months to come. Of these artists, all five have gone on to land record deals, gain more exposure, and slowly but surely take their place as the future of the alternative music scene. While we’re happy to see artists we believe in succeed, we realized not long ago that we were complete assholes for overlooking the world of hiphop altogether in our original list. So, in hopes of making amends and keeping you informed as to who you will be …

UTG LIST: Top 5 “Scream” Trilogy Kills

October 4th, 2011

James Shotwell

In celebration of the DVD/Blu Ray release of Scream 4 this week, UTG has compiled our 5 favorite kill from the original trilogy!

Kills, thrills, laughs, and Gale Weathers’ terrible outfits, the Scream films really have it all. Even if you think some of the sequels fell a bit short of the original (I still struggle to remember 3 at times), there is no way you can deny their impact on horror and pop culture as a whole. Hell, we may have never had the Scary Movie series without these gems (wait, would that be a bad thing?).
